Is this rug soft enough for a bedroom?

No. Jute is coarse and scratchy, so it suits living rooms and layering better than bedrooms or play areas.

How does it compare with a wool rug?

It is tougher and more affordable than wool but far less soft, and wool handles spills better.

It is made for indoor use. Damp and direct sun will damage jute, so keep it in covered, dry spaces.

Vacuum without a beater bar and spot clean with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash or soak it.

Usually yes, but it ships rolled tight. Reverse-roll it or weigh the corners for a week or two.

A pad is recommended. It adds cushioning and keeps the flat weave from sliding on hard floors.
